But if we can overcome those problems, I'm sure graphene can be a really useful material! I'm looking forward to flexible cell phones made of graphene in the future. I hope to see a world where graphene is commonly used.

Not really that difficult to understand. It's all about money. Until manufacturers can make money off graphene they will continue using more traditional materials.

yeah they definitely are hypocrites in the sense that they say the media is over hyping it and expecting it to come tomorrow and then go do exactly that. however, they did also cover WHY it is better, it is hands down the strongest material known to man for its given "thinness", and is also the best electrical conductor that could be used in practical applications like making cpu/gpu/ or whatever SoC you could dream up. the only thing better at conducting than graphene is super conductors, which require temperatures so low that they are impractical for consumer use. to put simply on why its difficult to manufacture, its not that making the material is hard, but making it in USEFUL forms is difficult. Example, they can make millions of tiny flakes of the material, however the process to make a single connected sheet the size of your finger nail has not come along yet, they need more precise methods other than just using school tape on a block of graphite. i hope this helps.

This has me concerned, especially when compared to plastics. My concern relates to economic, environmental, and animal/human health. Like plastics, it seems graphene products could prove to be disastrous to the environment, if not properly processed, or, if anything like plastics, overconsumed.
I don’t think it’s irrelevant whether we are aware that new products use graphene because I want to know if it will live up to it’s expectations and hype. If it only makes batteries 10% better then that’s a huge letdown... I’m not just going to say “this product is better!” That is kind of insulting to everyone that has been listening to the claims. They certainly bs like a real tv program.
Still waiting for my graphene-enhanced clothes to ship from 2019. Wait, we're near 5 years after the video, maybe we'll start to see graphene everywhere, no hype means high hopes.
As someone working in graphene research, it really is a miracle material and we're already mass producing it. Big semiconductor already has the processing figured out too. All it takes is for some company to invent a profitable device for graphene to really enter the market.
I hope you're right. With the current market focusing more and more on planned obsolescence, it feels like innovation is the enemy for the tech industry. But maybe we'll be getting some breakthrough some day still, hopefully
Just learned about graphene through microplastics, heard MP’s can be turned into graphene through a process called Upcycling. Hopefully the damage caused isn’t irreversible.

Is it the content or the video quality of the content that you admire? There's not a lot of science discussed in it, but there are some disturbing cues as to the video's purpose - lots of money for high quality production, mention of RFID chips, huge but mostly empty production building, and the choice of pages from a book about graphene, where the author bashes Christianity. Something is amiss here.....
Actually, I would consider plastic to be a wonder material (for better or worse though). Probably more than half the objects in your surroudings are either partially or completely made out of it. And that is impressive (almost as much as it's ability to pollute)
Plastic can remain stable for centuries. Paper on the other hand releases methane when it breaks down in landfill in fairly short time. Go bury a plastic straw and a paper straw and see what happens to each over time. And ask yourself what became of the paper.

Hi. Yes awesome. I don't know about Verge Science but there has been significant if not miraculous strides made in the production of Graphene the last year and a half. The leading group doing the work is the chemistry labs at Rice University ran by professor Dr. James Tour. This is one of the latest videos Tour put out. It's a general overview of several things he has in the works but it's a good place to start digging into Graphene progress to date. It's actually quite remarkable. Here is a link; Good luck and enjoy! ua-cam.com/video/BIbgauhV2Js/v-deo.html .

My marriage is made of graphene. It is really dark, it's literally spread as thin as it can get, it hasn't made good on its promises of a better future, and initially it was only a couple of flakes held together by scotch tape.
The thing about groundbreaking technologies over the past 30 years is that people almost never rave about them. Lithium polymer batteries practically tiptoed onto the scene.

@@VoraciousSergal They knew about the properties of carbon, its properties (as far as they knew before 2010). They researched, studied, looked at previous records of experiments, tests, theories and hypotheses... yes, they did great research and studies to come to that conclusion that with a carbon and a duct tape you could literally do such a wonderful thing as graphene. In this case, it was neither luck nor coincidence. Just long-standing science and research.
A graduate student in the Chemistry Dept in UT El Paso discovered how to make graphene from used motor oil. This was in 2014. The cost of an ounce made back then from graphite cost around $240. The cost of an ounce made from used motor oil cost 6 cents an ounce. The discoverer left the university and has been very quiet about his discovery. I hope he is building a factory making tons of graphene. Imagine space ships made from this material.
Graphene is already in the market. It will make all the electronics and electric devices more efficient. We can be happy about that. The revolution is happening !
The graphene on the market is shit, because they need silver to make it conductive enough. MXene will be on the market in 2 years and is 100 times more conductive
Tons are produced each great. However not in the sheets that most the envisaged applications would require. It's mainly in powdery bits as seen in the video. What they need is long rolls with precise thicknesses and quality..That's not available with present technology
"Graphene might not be a wonder material any more than Plastic is" Okay but, plastics were literally a world changer. You're really underplaying that it DID have a massive impact. We rely on it daily and our lives are so much better for it. It's *huge*. I don't understand how you can compare graphene to that like it's not a big deal. This is like the oddest way to accidentally hype something up.
To Tails : Plastic were a mistake. They're an endocrine disrupting, estrogen mimicking, environmental pollutant that damages the respiratory and digestive systems of many smaller organisms. Plastic needs to be replaced ASAP!
Plastics are fine in general. The problem is that we use plastics for disposable products and "one-time-use" packaging. Your refrigerator has many plastic components. The milk carton inside your fridge is also plastic. Which product (fridge or milk carton) is more likely to end up in the ocean? Hint: It's the one you buy, use once, and throw away on a regular basis. The milk carton manufacturer _could_ have decided to use a wax-lined cardboard box (like you often see orange juice come in) which is much more biodegradable. But they went cheap and went plastic.
Yeppers back in days of Noah the sickos demonic fallen angels, demonics deceived the humans big time i see left and right !!! All technology is really demonology !!!
I am thinking about a thing. If Graphene is so strong and durable, is it going to be ricyclable or are we getting into an ocean of indestructible waste?
There is work being done on graphene disposal and other 2d materials. However, it's much slower than the work done on developing applications and production. It's this thing that happens when people get excited over something new and forget the smaller details. Like rushing to nuclear power without figuring out how to properly dispose of its waste or working on producing hydrogen gas from water without thinking of efficiently producing water that's suitable for hydrogen production. Pop science is filled with hypes and journalists who aren't scientists speaking as experts.
@@dexter2392 That's not how it works.... Different forms and compounds of the same atom have completely different properties. Compounds with the exact same constituent atoms have widely different properties too depending on the structure they arrange in. It's too complicated to put in layman terms to be honest but the bottom line is it's not the same as other forms of carbon.
@Neil Salmen Don't forget it's incompatible with old parts and now you need other expensive parts to use it. I don't get that whole technology hype nowadays; when you work in research you realize it's mostly new technology that fixes problems created with the past technology by introducing new problems for future technology to solve, then the cycle repeats. It's mostly shuffling between problems to keep consumers buying. Ofc that's for consumer technology, not things like Medicine.
My lecturer at university said he worked on the revelation from the breakthrough of it's initial founding back in 2010 or so at the university of Manchester i think it was. He was very smart about the topic, but I couldn't care less :)

While this may sound conspiratorial, indulge my crackpot theory for a second. Many industries are dependent on their products breaking down after a while. Such industries, who are dependent on this model of "planned obsolesce", would be crippled if a technology came out that made certain mechanical items invunerable to wear and tear. Think about the automotive industry, as just one of many examples that can be adduced. The industry makes massive profit from the repair and replacement of cars, due to mechanical failure - and much of this mechanical failure is the byproduct of wear and tear from the accumulated effect of heat and friction that a car is subject to over the course if its use. This "planned" lifespan of products ensures that customers will always come back to these companies, either to repair their existing product (i.e. replace a worn tire or rebuild a transmission) or to buy a new product (i.e. buy a new car). If mechanical products are made entirely of graphene, or have graphene incorporated into them, and if graphene is as strong and durable as claimed, the need for repairing a mechanical item or replacing it entirely would be greatly minimized. Hence, profits for such companies would take a massive hit. So could it be that industries are reluctant to adopt graphene, because they DO NOT want their products to be impervious to degradation? Its just a thought. I don't have any evidence for this, but it does seem like a plausible reason - aside from the straightforward technical hurdles - as to why certain technologies take a long time to get incorporated into everyday products.
No he's talking about manufacturers not consumers. If your product never needs to be replaced, never breaks, you lose money on reselling new ones and selling replacement parts.
Drake look up the Centennial Light Bulb. Light Bulb that has been running for over 100 years. It's harder to make money when your light bulbs never need to be replaced.
There is a phrase for this. Planned Obsolescence. It's a cornerstone of consumer economies. The concept is pretty simple, a manufacturer does not want products to last forever, otherwise there will never be a turnover rate. If the object exists indefinitely, you eventually run yourself out of business. For a point of reference here, cast iron cookware, of which there is still a fair amount floating around from the 5'th century BC. As long as it's maintained to some degree it lasts obscene amounts of time. It is something bought once per several lifetimes. This absolutely does not work for consumer economies.
Wow. I was thinking about it often too. Where did all the graphene hype go and I was even expecting that the material may have been forsaken due to its production costs. I didn't know some were planning its large-scale manufacture. A big shout-out to Vorbeck for their hard work on developing graphene applications and to Verge science for making this awesome video.
Oodle Richhy MIT just discovered a scalable method of printing sheets of graphene. Get ready for computer chips that could be overclocked to ridiculous levels due to low resistance/low heat.
Solid video here guys. Both in terms of technical video making as well as content wise. The host is clear, informative and conveys information that is value add. Just subscribed myself. Keep up the good work!
Didn't address toxicity - plastic ended up being too toxic for some of its most 'usable' purposes. Most plastic leaches into food, and is becoming a huge problem in landfills etc. Becoming a 'throw-away' material of vast quantities that doesn't decay is a dead end problem that will never go away. I wonder how healthy graphene is in/for the body, and environment. How much will end up in landfills and what are it's long term effects on it? To not address that seems kind of....um...getting ahead of ourselves. Again. Especially after going down that road too fast too many times already. But like many of the comments have already pointed out, it's all about money, not long term practicality.

I have a question. If graphene is a material that puts carbon atoms in a hexagonal pattern which makes it really strong and durable. And if sound travels faster through solids than it does with gases. And because graphene is a solid that is formed in a special way. How fast would sound travel through graphene. Could it be so fast and also still cheap enough to be used as a way to talk to someone. Probably not beating a phone on speed but still. If you were to get a wire if graphene and play sound through it. would it go incredibly fast. Would you even hear a sound. It's possible that because of the form of the material that it might spread the sound so much that you can't hear anything from the other side
It took us decades to get plastics to work the way we want them to, in the early 20th century, we had raincoats made out of plastic that will literally disintegrate once it rained, and I think the same thing will happen with graphene. I won't expect to see much graphene until maybe the late 2020s until the 2040s if all goes well.
You didn't mention that graphene is a PERFECT heat conductor (you put heat at one end, it instantly heats up to that temperature on the other end, and the middle stays cold). There's actually a geothermal power plant being designed that uses graphene cables planted all the way down into the earth's mantle to generate power.
ua-cam.com/video/hQDvSJzjnjM/v-deo.html Took a while to find it, it's not the video I learned about it from, which had a LOT more info, but this is the project I was referring to.
7.5 miles actually, and it took 20 years to get that deep. But there are places the crust is thinner, such as in some volcanic regions. And even if they don't get to the mantle, it's still VERY hot once you get 2-3 miles down. The hotter the more power, obviously, but all you really need is enough heat to boil water so the steam can move the turbines.
Infinite uses = nobody will use it cause cause people wont need anymore hardware products = loss for manufacturing companies. = Never hitting our hands😌😌😌

This has me concerned, especially when compared to plastics. My concern relates to economic, environmental, and animal/human health. Like plastics, it seems graphene products could prove to be disastrous to the environment, if not properly processed, or, if anything like plastics, overconsumed.
What makes it seem like it could be disasterous to anything? It’s just carbon.

I don’t think it’s irrelevant whether we are aware that new products use graphene because I want to know if it will live up to it’s expectations and hype. If it only makes batteries 10% better then that’s a huge letdown... I’m not just going to say “this product is better!” That is kind of insulting to everyone that has been listening to the claims.

As someone working in graphene research, it really is a miracle material and we're already mass producing it. Big semiconductor already has the processing figured out too. All it takes is for some company to invent a profitable device for graphene to really enter the market.
I hope you're right. With the current market focusing more and more on planned obsolescence, it feels like innovation is the enemy for the tech industry. But maybe we'll be getting some breakthrough some day still, hopefully

Plastics are fine in general. The problem is that we use plastics for disposable products and "one-time-use" packaging. Your refrigerator has many plastic components. The milk carton inside your fridge is also plastic. Which product (fridge or milk carton) is more likely to end up in the ocean? Hint: It's the one you buy, use once, and throw away on a regular basis. The milk carton manufacturer _could_ have decided to use a wax-lined cardboard box (like you often see orange juice come in) which is much more biodegradable. But they went cheap and went plastic.

While this may sound conspiratorial, indulge my crackpot theory for a second. Many industries are dependent on their products breaking down after a while. Such industries, who are dependent on this model of "planned obsolesce", would be crippled if a technology came out that made certain mechanical items invunerable to wear and tear. Think about the automotive industry, as just one of many examples that can be adduced. The industry makes massive profit from the repair and replacement of cars, due to mechanical failure - and much of this mechanical failure is the byproduct of wear and tear from the accumulated effect of heat and friction that a car is subject to over the course if its use. This "planned" lifespan of products ensures that customers will always come back to these companies, either to repair their existing product (i.e. replace a worn tire or rebuild a transmission) or to buy a new product (i.e. buy a new car). If mechanical products are made entirely of graphene, or have graphene incorporated into them, and if graphene is as strong and durable as claimed, the need for repairing a mechanical item or replacing it entirely would be greatly minimized. Hence, profits for such companies would take a massive hit. So could it be that industries are reluctant to adopt graphene, because they DO NOT want their products to be impervious to degradation? Its just a thought. I don't have any evidence for this, but it does seem like a plausible reason - aside from the straightforward technical hurdles - as to why certain technologies take a long time to get incorporated into everyday products.
No he's talking about manufacturers not consumers. If your product never needs to be replaced, never breaks, you lose money on reselling new ones and selling replacement parts.
Drake look up the Centennial Light Bulb. Light Bulb that has been running for over 100 years. It's harder to make money when your light bulbs never need to be replaced.
There is a phrase for this. Planned Obsolescence. It's a cornerstone of consumer economies.
The concept is pretty simple, a manufacturer does not want products to last forever, otherwise there will never be a turnover rate. If the object exists indefinitely, you eventually run yourself out of business.
For a point of reference here, cast iron cookware, of which there is still a fair amount floating around from the 5'th century BC. As long as it's maintained to some degree it lasts obscene amounts of time. It is something bought once per several lifetimes. This absolutely does not work for consumer economies.
These kinds of theory holds and only holds when there is no competition, I.e. monopoly.
And we have LED bulbs now using a fraction of the power and lasting (unless they fail) for years.

Didn't address toxicity - plastic ended up being too toxic for some of its most 'usable' purposes. Most plastic leaches into food, and is becoming a huge problem in landfills etc. Becoming a 'throw-away' material of vast quantities that doesn't decay is a dead end problem that will never go away.
I wonder how healthy graphene is in/for the body, and environment. How much will end up in landfills and what are it's long term effects on it? To not address that seems kind of....um...getting ahead of ourselves. Again. Especially after going down that road too fast too many times already.

I have a question.
If graphene is a material that puts carbon atoms in a hexagonal pattern which makes it really strong and durable.
And if sound travels faster through solids than it does with gases.
And because graphene is a solid that is formed in a special way.
How fast would sound travel through graphene.
Could it be so fast and also still cheap enough to be used as a way to talk to someone. Probably not beating a phone on speed but still.
If you were to get a wire if graphene and play sound through it. would it go incredibly fast.
Would you even hear a sound. It's possible that because of the form of the material that it might spread the sound so much that you can't hear anything from the other side
Sound probably would be muffled. The hexagons aren't rigid and would in fact dampen any vibrations like sound.

I don't see a boat..
Bwhahaha
Finally, a recommended video that stimulates my mind. 🙏🙏
Here is something for your senses: ua-cam.com/video/sPcRZgvYzas/v-deo.html
Phil try dumbing down a little and you'll find everything alot more stimulating 👍
Watching this video in 2023 made me wonder where was this in my home feed all this time 😮. Graphene sounds amazingly awesome
You didn't mention that graphene is a PERFECT heat conductor (you put heat at one end, it instantly heats up to that temperature on the other end, and the middle stays cold).
There's actually a geothermal power plant being designed that uses graphene cables planted all the way down into the earth's mantle to generate power.
no
No is not a very descriptive response, no to what?

Took a while to find it, it's not the video I learned about it from, which had a LOT more info, but this is the project I was referring to.
Very interesting, but how will they get down to the mantle? I thought the deepest hole man had dug was about 6 miles or something like that.
7.5 miles actually, and it took 20 years to get that deep. But there are places the crust is thinner, such as in some volcanic regions. And even if they don't get to the mantle, it's still VERY hot once you get 2-3 miles down. The hotter the more power, obviously, but all you really need is enough heat to boil water so the steam can move the turbines.
Electricity
Flexible
Strong
Economic/mid economic
Almost infinite uses
angelito 78 that would be to efficient. The government would never allow such a thing
Morgan Waffle it conducts electricity thats what i mean
Infinite uses = nobody will use it cause cause people wont need anymore hardware products = loss for manufacturing companies. = Never hitting our hands😌😌😌
